Squareness error compensation (SEC)
Squareness error compensation (SEC) enables angular errors to be compensated
during measuring point acquisition. The compensation factor is determined
by comparing the deviation of the nominal angle of the spatial axes with the
actual measurement result. The compensation factor is applied to the complete
measuring range.
